Creating entertaining content will surely drive engagement with users of TikTok. Feel free to reuse all the successful trends that occur on your “For You Page” and give it a go with your brand.

Knowing how to use a power drill for the first time could be encouraging for the user to actually buy it just by making a simple video on how to basic elements with a power drill. If you are a fitness coach, then making a video of how to properly make a “deadlift” could easily put you on the FYP page. Try using voice-over and voice-over text for maximum relevancy because users sometimes like to hear step-by-step what the video is about or just to read it when the sound is off.

So, when telling the story about your product or offer, leave the best to the end make a copy “watch to the end” – it will intrigue your audience.
